UN Spacy Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Wow. Well I'm sure we all know by now anything by the Timm/Dini/DC team will rock. Just watch the trailer they just released and LOVE every bit of it. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0934706/trailer...lay-E32340-10-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley424 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Interesting. I see that it's in the Timm-verse animation style. I wonder if it'll be tied into that universe (Doomsday escapes from the Phantom Zone somehow). Though AFAIK these DC DVD movies are supposed to follow the comics more closely (Lois looks different in the trailer that she does in Adv of Superman and Justice League). Looking forward to this plus the Teen Titans one based on the Judas Contract storyarc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Looking good. Anything by Timm and Dini has been pretty on target so far. If anything at least it will be better than Superman Returns... *shudder*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_breetai Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 hmm looks like they're including the Reign of the Supermen as well... Which they'll really have to shorten for it to fit on the same movie. This is going to be more like Doomsday and Beyond then Death and Life... the two novelizations of the event.

hutch Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Not tied into the Timmverse in any way. For now, there is no more Timmverse on the horizon. But THIS still looks AWESOME. And I can't WAIT for New Frontier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutch Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Because Bruce Timm has said it's not. Different designs, different VA's. Different Universe. BT has said this in every interview about any of the upcoming DC DTV's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoptimus Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Man I had no idea how cool it was gonna look. Looks ten times better than the comic its based on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effect Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I know a lot is going to be cut out but I hope they at least keep some of the Reign of Supermen storyline in there. From the trailer it seems we have Superman in the black, Last Son of Kryton. Yet there was no sign of Superboy, Steel, or Cyborg Superman. Not saying they won't be there but would feel better if there was some images of them out there. I wonder how Matrix Supergirl will look in this, if she is even in it.

DC no longer has the rights to the name Superboy thanks to a lawsuit by Superboy's creator's estate (one of the two co-creators of Superman I think it was Schuster but it could be Seigel I'd have to google it), so I highly doubt he would be in it. I don't know if that gun popping superman was Eradicator (the last son you mentioned) or if he was Hank Henshaw (Cyborg) I hope he wasn't Hank... but he looked identical to superman so he could be either. Matrix supergirl was retconned out of existance in Infinite Crisis, Kara Zor-El is now the only Supergirl unless you count Kara Zor-L/Karen Powergirl. So if one shows up it'll be her.

Effect Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) Not really. There are conflicting statements about Matrix. Some say she was retconned out while others say she still existed. I believe DC's Editor in Chief said she was gone but the actual writer of IC and DC's top writer at the moment I believe said she was still around. Even still with that it shouldn't have any effect on this movie since it's suppose to be based on the Death of Superman storyline that was put out at the time. What I mean was that in the trailer you see Superman in the black suit, when he came back to life. The one with the glowing eyes seemed like he would be the Last Son of Krypton version from the story, the one that kills.

Yeah I hope so... but he dosn't look like Eradicator, no glasses and just a normal superman outfit. I agree though his powers seem like Eradicator's. But I doubt they can just leave Hank Henshaw out either, they probably didn't want to show us the Cyborg and leave it for a suprise. Though explaning his whole backstory would take a little bit of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effect Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) I guess so. As long as Steel is in it I'll be happy since his origin is tied in directly with this story. I can see them passing up the Superboy angle but not Steel's. Especially since Timm had no problem with including Steel in the Superman and Justice League (and Unlimited) series.

lord_breetai Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I just realized another difference we briefly see Lex Luthor and he's bald... when Lex Luthor was in his clone body with the red hair and beard at this time, he didn't go bald again till later.

I wouldn't necessarily count on anything that Timm did with STAS and JLU having any effect whatsoever on this movie, other than no yellow "S" on the cape and that's strictly for animation purposes.

azrael Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 From what I've heard, this will be based-on but not a direct (i.e. word-for-word) adaption of the "Death of Superman/Reign of the Supermen" series. This will probably not have the JLA or too many other things (like Supergirl/Matrix). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
